Description

This invention relates to novel thiazine (or oxazine) derivatives useful for the prophylaxis and treatment of ischemic encephalopathia and/or cerebral neurocyte dyscrasia, and processes for preparing the same.
Hemokinetic dyscrasia due to intracephalic hemorrhage or thromboembolia induces shortage of glucose and oxygen etc. which are source of energy for neurocytic activity and then induces nervous cellular necrosis at the ischemic lesion site. For treating such ischemic encephalopathia, there has hitherto been used a medicament such as flunarizine dihydrochloride which can increase cerebral blood flow and can promote supplement of glucose and oxygen etc. to the ischemic lesion site.
Besides, it has recently been clarified that calcium participates in cellular injury in ischemia and that the cellular injury in ischemia can be prevented by inhibiting the flow of calcium into neurocytes (cf. Trends in Pharmacological Science, 1989, 10, 397). Thus, it has been desired very much to develop a calcium antagonistic agent which can directly act on the cerebral cells.
An object of this invention is to provide novel compounds which have excellent calcium antagonistic activity within the cerebral tissues and are useful for the prophylaxis and treatment of ischemic encephalopathia and/or cerebral neurocyte dyscrasia.

The activities of the compounds of this invention were tested.

Experiment 1

Activity against entrance of calcium into cerebral synaptosome:
A cerebral synaptosome suspension was prepared from the cerebral cortex of rat in accordance with the procedure disclosed in The Journal of Physiology, 1989, 387, pages 415-423. To the suspension were added a fluorescent reagent (cf. "Note" hereinbelow) and a solution of test drug, and thereto was further added potassium chloride to depolarize. The fluorescent strength of the mixture was measured at 500 nm when irradiating mutually UV rays of wavelength of 340 nm and 380 nm with an apparatus for measuring intracellular calcium (CAF-100, manufactured by Nippon Bunko K.K.). The activity of the test drug for inhibiting the entrance of calcium into the synaptosome was calculated based on the rate of specific change (ΔR) of fluorescent strength at peak by the following equation. As a control, dimethylsulfoxide was used instead of the test drug. $[1 - \frac{Average [ΔR] in medicated group}{Average [ΔR] in control group}] x 100$
wherein R = fluorescent strength at 340 nm/fluorescent strength at 380 nm.
[Note]: The fluorescent reagent = 1-(2-(5'-carboxyoxazol-2'-yl]-6-aminobenzofuran-5-oxy)-2-(2'-amino-5'-methylphenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid pentaacetoxymethyl ester (tradename, Fura 2-MA, manufactured by Dojin Kenkyusho).

Results

When the compounds as shown in the following Table 1 were used as the test drug in a concentration of 10⁻⁵M, these compounds showed the inhibitory activity of calcium entrance as shown in Table 1.

Experiment 2

Activity for protecting cerebral anoxia inuded by potassium cyanide:
The test drug was orally administered to mice. One hour after the administration, potassium cyanide (2.4 mg/kg) was administered into the tail vein, and the survival time (second) of the mice was measured. On the basis of the average survival time in the medicated group and the control group, the rate of prolonging of the survival time was calculated by the following equation. In the control group, distilled water was administered instead of the test drug. $[\frac{Average survival time in medicated group}{Average survival time in control group} - 1] x 100$

Results

When the compounds as shown in the following Table 2 were orally administered as the test drug in a dose of 10 mg/kg, these compounds showed the prolonging rate of survival time as shown in Table 2A.

For example, when 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(diethylamino)acetyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine was intraperitoneally administered to evanescent cerebral ischemic rats with ligating four vessels in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg twice a day for four days, it increased the number of normal pyramidal cells at hippocampul CA_l region in about 90 % in comparison with the non-medicated group. Accordingly, the compounds (I) of this invention can effectively be used for the prophylaxis, treatment and amelioration of sequelae of cerebral neurocyte dyscrasia, for example, disturbances of consciousness (e.g. somnolenz, sopor, coma, stupor, clouding of consciousness, etc.), motor paralysis (e.g. parkinsonism, etc.), cerebral neuropathy (e.g. dysuria, etc.), speech and language disorders (e.g. articulation disorders, aphasia, semantic aphasia, etc.), sensitive disorders (e.g. pain, sysesthesia, heat sensibility disorder, etc.), psychological disorders (e.g. dementia, hallucination, delusion, delirium, poriomania, melancholia, neurosis, emotional incontinence, etc.), and the like, and further the prophylaxis of palindromia and also the prophylaxis of exacerbation and progression of the symptoms. Moreover, the compounds (I) of this invention show little activity to heart and circular organs and hence has characteristics of direct action onto the cerebral cells. In addition, the compounds (I) of this invention have low toxicity and has high safety. For example, when the compounds of this invention such as 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(diethylamino)acetyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine oxalate, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(diethylamino)acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-naphtho[2,1-b][1,4]thiazine oxalate, and 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1H-naphtho[2,1-b][1,4]thaizin-2[3H]-one oxalate were orally administered to mice in a dose of 500 mg/kg, no mouse died even after 7 days.

[Preparation of starting materials]

Reference Example 1

To a suspension of 2-aminothiophenol (12.6 g) and sodium acetate (23.6 g) in ethanol (150 ml) is added methyl α-bromo-4-fluorophenylacetate (23.6 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. After the solvent is distilled off, water is added to the residue. The resulting precipitate is separated by filtration, washed, dried, and then recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran-n-hexane to give 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine (21.7 g) as crystals. M.p. 216 - 219°C.
